krug clos du mesnil 2000 magnum
Reference: 2825Stock: 1 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
the 2000 brut blanc de blancs clos du mesnil is rich, deep, textured and wonderfully complete. the seductiveness of the 2000 vintage comes through beautifully, but the mesnil has extra dimensions of depth that aren’t found in the vintage. smoke, ash, graphite, pastry and lemon are some of the nuances that unfold in this supremely gracious, refined clos du mesnil. i expect the 2000 to take some time to reach its peak, but it is superb, even at this early stage. anticipated maturity: 2015-2035. i tasted a wide range of wines during my visit to krug this year, including several versions of the grande cuvee that have temporary proprietary names meant to distinguish each release, including the ‘equilibre’ (1998 base) and ‘savoir faire’ (2001 base). the wines still don’t carry disgorgement dates (and probably never) will, but this is a step forward. yes, the corks have a code that indicates an approximate disgorgement date range, but that is of no use until a bottle is opened. still, the proprietary name concept is clever, unique and does achieve the purpose of distinguishing each release of the grande cuvee. i hope krug makes the decision to market the next release of their grande cuvee with a proprietary name.
